Show Waited for Orders. A drill foreman in Culebra cut sent a. negro to the top of the mast on one of his drills to straighten out a rope which had slipped off the sheave. Just after the man went up the general foreman came along and talked about the job for half an hour. In the meantime mean-time the man on top of the drill was forgotten and after the general foreman fore-man left he was discovered still roosting roost-ing on top of the mast. The foreman called to him: "Aren't you through, up there yet?" "Oh, yes, sir, boss." "Well, why don't you come down, then ?" "You don't tell me to, sir." |
